Sickies

Posted on by

I am snuggled in bed next to my snifflly husband.  I have thick fuzzy socks on & the heating blanket set at the most perfect temperature.  Perfect for a long winter’s nap, but I probably won’t be getting a long winter’s nap tonight… just a lot of short ones strung together.

Why?

Because I have the most pitiful sick babies. If you think one sick baby is sad, you should see all 3 of these guys together.  I mean, you just can’t take it!   We took them to the doctor today to make sure it wasn’t RSV or the flu.  They tested negative for both thank the Lord!  However, anyone who saw them just said how pitiful they looked!  Poor guys!

Sooooooo, I have 3 nose-sucky things, 3 bottles of saline spray, 1 hiney thermometer (temps have spiked to 103!), and lots and lots of motrin all standing by to help us survive night #2 of sickness.  Thankfully, Harper & I are well.  Hope the boys are back to feeling good soon!  Hope we get to sleep some tonight!

Chris was supposed to go out of town tonight, but when I called him to tell him that 2 of 3 had fevers, he canceled right away. By the time he came home, baby #3 was running a temp of 100.5 So, thank you my Love for coming home to help me. I hope you feel better soon, too.

Night to all,
ML

Random Thoughts

Posted on by
I’ve been thinking a lot about blogging lately. I don’t know if I’m going to continue it or not. I mean, sometimes I feel like I think ‘in blog.’ Do you know what I mean… you probably do if you blog. Basically, it is something like, when you are in the middle of a really special moment or something hilarious happens, you have to just about break your neck to get your camera so you can record what happened… instead of just ENJOYING the moment! But, then I have the dilema of wanting to record them so I can look back on them one day. Anyway, maybe here, maybe there I will do a post… we’ll see. I’m still trying to figure it all out.

And, just so you know, I am soooo looking forward to the time change (March 13)! My boys should wake up at 7:30/8 instead of 6:30/7… oh thank you Jesus!

And now, some pictures….

Oh first, did yall see THESE and THESE from Harper’s 2nd birthday? Nancy is soooo awesome for capturing these fun moments! It allowed me to be IN the moment & not worry about trying to capture it all the time. HEY! That would be the solution! Nancy, don’t you want to move here to TN so you can follow us around all the time & photograph our life?!?! (hee hee)

Okay, and now some pictures from the amature photographer (I actually just wrote it as photogopher & it made me laugh…hope these pics load fast… I really need to go to bed. Sheesh… just looked at the clock & it is only 8:53pm. To me it feels like 1am -hahah… I really am LOL(ing)… I just wrote 1pm…guess it can feel like 1 pm too… that is naptime at our house:-D [if you didn’t follow any of that, just move along]…)

Chris & I are trying to figure out who is who in this picture… we think…
W, M, C
The sweetest big sissy in the world!


Being “tunggie” (Harper’s made up word for snuggie) after a very very long day that I didn’t think I would survive. But I did. And I got this nice reward at the end of it. Do I look tired? I am.
…and because I love naked babies… I can’t wait ’til summer!!!!

Love to all,

First Food

Posted on by

I seriously don’t know where to start, so I am going to work my way through my camera & these are the first memories I captured with it. Well other than a few other shots that are very dark & just bad (but you don’t want to see those)

So, here is the first time we fed the boys rice cereal. You can tell they weren’t fans of it, but now… OH.MY.GOODNESS. I fix them one giant bowl of rice cereal plus two containers of baby food and they eat it all.

Boys are so different than girls, and one way of telling that is how they eat. Harper was nothing like this. It would take her 3-4 meals to finish one container of baby food. She is still a nibbler. Every now and then she will eat a gigantic meal, but usually we have to coax her to eat with some sort of ‘surprise’ at the end of her meal! The other morning she woke up, sat down to eat some eggs picked up her fork, and paused. She looked at me with her bright honey brown eyes and with all sincerity (while nodding her head) asked, “cookie after eggs?” hahaha…guess I will have to work on that. These boys won’t have any trouble eating. I wish there was a way I could start stocking up on food now for when they are teenagers!!! I can only imagine!

haha… Warner (middle) is like.. what is happening? I’m not too sure about this!


We now have their highchairs on the ground. They just took up too much room on the table, so now they sit all lined up (see below). They get so frustrated b/c by the time brother #3 is being fed brother #1 is screaming for more. My pulse races & I sweat when I feed them because it takes lots of concentration! ha ha! I’m getting much better, but they are somewhat demanding little fellas!


Warner not too sure of the taste!


Mav with the majority of it on his bib.

Crews just wondering when it will all be over! haha!

Feeding time with Daddy:


double time!! He’s awesome!

Macky thinks Daddy is soooo funny!!!


yumm


hey, give me some of what you got

clean up!

Edited to add: To get these shots from above I climbed up onto our island counter. While I was up there Harper looks at me and says, “Mommy!! Sit Down!!” Hey, at least the lessons on standing up in her highchair are sticking! 🙂
